Employee Satisfaction

A family business that takes every member along

MAM sells its products worldwide. Just the same, the values that make up our family business have remained a central part of our identity. The only difference from the early years: Our family has grown. And just like the health of our employees, their satisfaction is very important to us. Issues such as equality and the reconciliation of work and family life are of great importance to us. MAM supports mothers and fathers in balancing family and professional life. Flexible working time models, flex-time, working from home and part-time arrangements make it easier for them to pick up their children from school or to care for a runny nose. For us, it goes without saying that fathers also take parental leave. We wholeheartedly support this. With us, mothers and fathers don’t have to worry about parental leave and professional success being mutually exclusive: a return to management positions is also ensured and supported.

As a manager, it is also possible for me to balance work and family life.

The MAM kids camp

Every year in Austria, MAM organizes child-care for the employeesʼ children between the ages of 6 and 11 during the summer holidays. This is another contribution to support the balancing of work and family life with part of the costs being covered by MAM. At the Kids Camp, the children are looked after for a whole week during the day and go on exciting outings together such as to the climbing park, UNO City or the swimming pool.

Equality

Fair pay, regardless of gender

Our understanding of equality is not only expressed in parental leave, but also in pay. We explicitly addressed this point in 2020 and developed a new salary process for MAM Austria as part of the EU-funded “Equal Pay Project.” At the start of the project – carried out with the help of an external consultant – there was an analysis of the current situation and the identification of weak points. The results helped us to design a new structure with the aim of creating more transparency and uniform rules.

Each country in its own way

In 2020, we launched various projects at our global locations to strengthen satisfaction within our teams. Before the pandemic, regular team building events including singing and dance contests were held in MAM China. For our employees in Scandinavia, the motto “if you rest, you rust” applied during the lockdowns. To make a daily walk a routine during the pandemic, the team started a competition to achieve the highest daily number of steps.
